This is true for persons in the deaf and hearing impaired community also, and drug rehab for alcohol and drug abuse disorders is often needed.

Professional drug rehab counselors who know ASL and can offer other necessary help to deaf or hearing impaired addicted individuals are readily available in many drug rehabilitation facilities around Newton and around the nation.
